Fiona and Edward Stone and their daughter, Molina, 9, kick back in their refurbished living room. They chose comfortable, easy-care furniture, like leather sofas.

During the kitchen remodel, the Stones installed windows salvaged from a nearby house, DIY upper cabinets to match base ones found on Craigslist, and a vintage sink donated by Edward's parents. The family's English lab, Hunter, guards the back door.

The dining table was a joint project: Chuck Watters, a carpenter who helped with the remodeling, made the base, and Fiona made the top, using Douglas fir harvested and milled on the property. The homeowners built the wainscot and used a combination of beadboard (under the windows) and wallpaper they painted and stained for a distressed look.

The new fireplace is faced with fieldstone plucked from the property back when Edward's great-grandfather was clearing the land for sheep and cattle. The original fireplace and chimney came out before the move to keep the barge from listing.
